The Bill as introduced would, if passed:
Make it an offence to use or buy a glue trap that could be used to catch an animal other than an invertebrate
Introduce a licensing scheme for the use of specific traps to catch wild birds and animals, which will require practitioners to complete an approved training course
Introduce a licensing scheme for killing red grouse, which will require the landowner to have a licence to allow the killing and taking of red grouse on their land, and introduces a code of practice for managing that land
Make it possible to have Regulations that would give new powers to inspectors, for example from the Scottish SPCA, to gather evidence around certain wildlife crime offences.
